déodat,
It didn’t take long for others to arrive. Two came, but his attention immediately drifted to one of the few he had missed since his departure. For a moment he wondered if there would be any anger from his friend after he yet again abandoned her. Was abandoned the right word? It wasn’t as if she was alone and had no one else. There were the other members of the Basin that would’ve been here for her. When she spoke, the words were simple, but they were kind. The Blood Prince hadn’t realized a smile had broken the frown that had been sculpted onto his features from the years of war, bloodshed, and hardship. It was good to see that his friend was alright. Then another voice spoke, he turned his head, the smile faltering from his lips a bit. At the sight of a stranger it was tempting to fall back into his hardened expression.
“Thank you.” He said to the filly first, but then his attention turned back to Lena. What should he say to the mare? Pride kept him from apologizing, and he also saw no point in it. There weren’t enough apologies in the world that could make up for his sudden absences. There was no making up for lost time. There was only the present moment and the repercussions of his own choices. In this case, his absence had led to months of time spent in solitude and now seeing his friend he was beginning to regret his decision. “It’s good to see you again Lena, and I hope you have been faring well. How has life been treating you?”
Then he remembered the presence of the filly. Maybe he should at least introduce himself, though manners were the last thing on his mind at that moment. “I’m Déodat by the way.” He said glancing over at the filly, to show that she hadn’t been forgotten. “Has there been any change within the Basin since I left?” There was genuine curiosity in his tone, but nothing showed up on his face, it had shifted back to it’s hardened expression. Hopefully nothing too dramatic had happened within his time away, he didn’t get his hopes high for anything. There was an endless amount of things that could be different and he was already preparing himself for what differences lay in wait for him in his cold north home.
[gah, I promise these will get better eventually >,<]
